The evidence is impressive. I say this with some confidence, even
in the face of the claptrap often associated with claims of the
paranormal and the dull or cunning shysters who try to sell bogus
'psychic readings' or inflated 'remote viewing courses.' There's
substantial evidence—both anecdotal and laboratorial—for some
paranormal phenomena, but it takes scientific savvy to sort out the
trustworthy from the vast piles of dross. . . . The most valuable
parts of these books are the substantial and various treatments of
physicalist theories of psi.
